"What we said: “Rick Gencarelli’s Lardo joins an impressive local tradition of quality sandwich-making. In the vein of Portland sandwich institutions like Bunk and Meat Cheese Bread, the spot elevates what can be accomplished between two slices of bread, resulting in dripping, flavor-packed pork meatball banh mi and rotating “Chefwich” collaborations with top Portland chefs.”What they’re doing: All Lardo locations are open for takeout and delivery through apps like CaviarWhat to get: Most of Lardo’s sandwiches are knockouts, especially its burger and Nashville hot chicken sandwich; the dirty fries are a particularly good addition."
"The PDX knows its sandwiches, and some of the best come from Rick Gencarelli’s Lardo. Gencarelli’s got a knack for creating crowd-pleasing, instagrammable food. His pasta spin-off Grassa, also makes this list at number 15."
"Likening anything to McDonalds is an insult, but the Little Big Burger chain (now owned by the group that owns more than 400 Hooters) sure did get its fast food and fast service down, thanks to former owners Micah Camden and Katie Poppe. And the burgers, of course, have always been better than McDonalds, because everything’s been locally sourced and the ketchup’s made with Camden’s very own recipe. Superior to: McDonalds."

"WoodstockImpossibly rich, fluffy ice cream that sets the stage for indulgent blends and straightforward creations alikePerhaps the newest superstar in the Portland ice cream scene, this Woodstock creamery quickly made a name for itself with a wide variety of unique blends that burst with enough flavors to give Ben & Jerry’s a run for its money. Circus Friends and Sasquatch Tracks are two of the most popular blends for children (both young and old), and inventive offerings like Grilled Peach Sweet Tea and Totes Ma’Goats are as oddly delicious as they sound on paper. It’s rare that a nouveau riche ice cream boutique manages to impress both adults and children in equal measure, but Cloud City continually knocks it out of the park for tastes that are at once juvenile, sophisticated, and that weird grey area in between."
"If you didn’t think it was possible to cry over a story about ice cream, think again and read the story behind Cloud City Ice Cream. The business serves as a tribute to the owner’s mother, who passed away the day before Cloud City opened in 2011. Many of the flavors are inspired by her favorite desserts, including the caramelized banana ice cream and the roasted cherry mascarpone."
"It’s a tribute to the owner’s mother, who passed away a day after he signed the lease. Her memories (and exquisite baking skills) live on in flavors like caramelized banana and roasted cherry mascarpone. A nondescript strip mall houses the shop, but it’s easy to find—just look for all the smiling faces holding frozen treats in Cloud City’s outdoor seating area."
